While the topic of this documentary is very serious and sad, this family is inspiring with their love for each other. This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Very well done. I commend the family for opening themselves up on camera and sharing their pain with the public. Vikie is a lucky woman to have such wonderful children, and they are lucky to have her as their mother.

Well worth the watch. Very sad to watch. Brings back painful memories of my mums suicide and yrs later my cousins. I have mental health issues its hard to cope some days. Well done this family and to Pippa its hard honey but it will get easier to cope. To Vicky you are one hell off a mum.
This production takes you on a very
private & intimate journey with a family facing a
multitude of demons & hardships.
There is so much love within this family and that shines through even throughout their darkest days.
What a bunch of courageous people they sure are to share their story with us.
This harrowing documentary follows a family of eight, six years after their father committed suicide. From the emotional lows to growing anxiety disorders, the darkest moments of this family's past have been captured here in an incredibly well documented account; beautifully filmed and edited from home video and fresh recordings. It's so intimate that you feel you know them very early on and therefore it's hard not to get emotionally involved as a viewer and want them all to find true happiness again. I spent the majority of the time gobsmacked at the tragic event itself and hoping that everyone would pull through. And I think that's what is so wonderful about this family; they've got each other to not only share the grieving process with but also to support one another and find a brighter future together. Everyone gets their story told from the mother to all the siblings which is so important; I believe just after watching that this documentary marking this point in their lives would have been incredibly therapeutic for them I hope. A very moving statement on the strength of the human spirit in harsh times. You can catch it on Netflix now!
I also know this family locally and they are epic. A constant support to and within the local community. They have brought their experiences out into the public domain in order to help other families understand autism and mental health issues. It takes strength of character to do this and I applaud you and your amazing family, Vikie.
